Gothic Fantasy paintings by Jemima Mantle

The problem with drawing mice is that whilst I know what they look like, and had some experience of drawing them before, knowing how to stylise something in an attractive way is an art in itself. I feel like this week’s drawing waould be a lot more successful if I felt the mice were cuter, more attractive. It’s a drawing to me which encapsulates a huge variation in success. To put it plainly parts of it look great and others do not.

Subject wise, I’ve continued to indulge my most recent themes; creating images which are more entire pictures which present a particular idea to the audience. I like the balance of the composition, particularly having a huge sun front and centre. I feel that similarly to last week’s drawing I have created somewhere you could travel to in your dreams.
